Cybersecurity tips for traveling abroad

This was originally written in early 2017 for a friend of mine that asked for advice about how to avoid being hacked when traveling abroad. It mirrors much of the DHS Travel Safety advice, but is meant to be a little more practical. I’m re-posting it here for the benefit of others. Note that this checklist applies for pretty much any hostile cyber environment – but was written with China in mind.
